EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic housing of the working classes in early 20th century London. The image showcases a diverse range of buildings, each representing an important aspect of social history. From Sandwich Winchelsea Buildings to Swan Lane Rotherhithe, these structures were built by the London County Council (LCC) and Westminster Corporation to provide affordable homes for workers. The photograph offers a glimpse into the living conditions during this time period, highlighting both the architectural styles and societal values of that era. It is evident that influential figures such as Rossetti, Ruskin, and Hogarth played a role in shaping these developments. Noteworthy features include grand doorways like those found in Maclise Buildings Norfolk House in Westminster. LCC Cottages on Blakenham Road in Lower Tooting are also visible, showcasing well-planned ground floor layouts. Idenden Cottages stand out with their unique design while Millais Leighton Buildings and Siddons Buildings add character to the landscape. Marquis Court on Drury Lane completes this scene. This print serves as a valuable resource for historians seeking knowledge about early 20th-century housing for working-class individuals. Preserved within private collections, it was originally used as an illustration for The Harmsworth Encyclopedia around 1922. Bridgeman Images has successfully captured this historical moment through their fine art finder collection, allowing us to appreciate and learn from our past without commercial intentions.
